In geometry, the small ditrigonal icosidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U30. It has extended Schläfli symbol a{5,3}, as an altered dodecahedron, and Coxeter diagram 
or .
It is constructed from Schwarz triangle (3 3 5/2) with Wythoff symbol 3 | 5/2 3. Its hexagonal vertex figure alternates equilateral triangle and pentagram faces.
Related polyhedra
Its convex hull is a regular dodecahedron. It additionally shares its edge arrangement with the great ditrigonal icosidodecahedron (having the triangular faces in common), the ditrigonal dodecadodecahedron (having the pentagrammic faces in common), and the regular compound of five cubes. As a simple polyhedron it is also a hexakis truncated icosahedron where the triangles touching the pentagons are made coplanar, making the others concave.
